Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!

Oh no a post about umbrellas, a flame war shall surely ensue.

Brilliant, really.

Slow day, huh Freddy?

That's actually a nice idea that is convenient for everyone. No slave has to come by with a mop every ten minutes to clean up the puddles by the door this way.

What is strange about this? They are providing plastic bags to put your wet drippy umbrella in.

It says use it for your umbrella, not use it AS your umbrella.

Yeah, I don't get it. The office building I used to work in had these just inside the front door and they were pretty great.
(Sidenote: The office building had the misfortune to have the name of a very well known brand of hotel on it because the top floor belonged entirely to that company. People would occasionally come in thinking it was a hotel, and since my company was on the ground floor, we usually had people wandering in asking for a room.)

I don't get what's funny or unexpected about this.
Posted by: Chicajojobe | Monday, January 14, 2013 at 12:17 PM
I'm glad I'm not the only one who does not get it either.

I've seen the same sign in lots of places.

I don't get it.....could you explain it?
Posted by: MahiMahi713 | Monday, January 14, 2013 at 06:30 PM
That's actually a brilliant idea there.
Posted by: The Last Archimedean | Monday, January 14, 2013 at 06:35 PM
It means that nobody's going to end up tit over tail in that store. Sweet
Posted by: Techdeath | Monday, January 14, 2013 at 07:35 PM
Hey everyone! I thought it was humorous that the sign had welcome, take a plastic bag as an umbrella!- as if it were raining. If it had been turned around and said, thank you for shopping at sears, take an umbrella, that would have made more sense.
I also thought it was a brilliant idea and a great thing to do for the custys during rainy days here in LA!
Posted by: Freddy | Monday, January 14, 2013 at 08:41 PM
So it's funny because it's not raining where the picture was taken? Just trying to understand.
Posted by: M | Monday, January 14, 2013 at 10:50 PM
Freddy dear I think you missed something. It says "For your umbrella" not "As your umbrella".
I got why you think its funny but I just think you misunderstood :p
Posted by: Kel | Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 03:13 AM
Okay, I guess I sort of get how you interpreted that.
Maybe I'm just boring, but I never would have seen that as saying 'use the bag as an umbrella incase of indoor drizzle', rather just a polite version of 'put your umbrella in this bag so it doesn't drip all over the damned floor!'
Or maybe this is a function of living in LA where it rains, what? Four times a year? Just kidding. ;-)

Cousin It? Is that you?
Posted by: TechTyger | Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 11:46 PM
I also thought that was a great idea and don't get what the problem or joke was. I refrained from responding, but am glad now that I am not the only one.
